4. Main Squeeze - NATE EVANS (Twinight).........Mint-..............rare crossover...................£400

5. He's Ready / He's Got Real Love - THE POPPIES (Epic demo, picture sleeve).......VG++.........two good Northern sides but the winner has to be the overlooked "He's Got Real Love" which has every chance if played....................£25

6. Where Would You Be - TENISON STEPHENS (Chess).........VG++..........classy Chicago Northern with full-on backing that's like a Dells meets The Radiants sound..................£20

A pounding go-for-it Northern dancer assisted by a sexy funk meets Northern backing that Sharon Jones & The Daptones ought to think about covering, it's a big noise alright!.....................£20 (PICK OF THE LIST)

10. Where Are You - JOHNNY DIXON (Boss).........VG++.............Northern Soul Beat Ballad Bliss with a monster backing track no near neighbours would want you to play late at night; but in the club?Yeah man, hands-down winner!..................£90

11. I Can't Make It Anymore - FRESH AIR (GRT)........VG++..............rare white group version of Spyder Turner's MGM Northern classic....................£40

14. (Just A Little) Faith And Understanding - THE MAGICIANS (Kent/6T's 25th Anniversary Special).....Mint- ..................ever-popular vocal version of "Double Cookin" by Checkerboard Squares...................£125

15. I Gotta Keep My Bluff In - FREDDIE HUGHES (Wand)............VG++.....this is CLASS in every way, Soulful Crossover Northern that just gives you a great feeling when you hear it, a real antidote to the crap that the world's been dishing out a-lately.............................£20 (PICK OF THE LIST Part Two)

16. Don't Be Afraid - JIMMY SCOTT (Impala)...................VG++................Northern/R&B rarity, top sound...........£150

17. You Left Me / Lonely Old World - THE ARTISTICS (Brunswick)........VG++...............two lovely sides here both qualifying as Northern yet with differently pleasing tempos. Topside "You Left Me" is their Temptations impression on a coolly subdued mid-paced dancer that bobs along at a married man's pace and will leave you with enough stamina to enjoy the flipside "Lonely Old World" which is noticeably faster with a heavier N.Soul beat.Two sides of joy for both DJ and dancer.........................£20
